Riding at Sunrise in Erg Chebbi
Mornings in the desert bring cooler temperatures and quiet dunes before the day's heat sets in. A sunrise quad ride takes you into Erg Chebbi as the sky lightens, with the sand catching the first color of the day.
Sunrise rides are priced the same as our standard quad experience, at €35 per hour, with no special surcharge. Let us know you are interested in a sunrise ride when you contact us, and we will help arrange a suitable start time.
Because sunrise time shifts through the year, we confirm the exact start time directly with you closer to your ride, based on the season and availability.
